The Traveler: A Novel (Book 1 of 3: Fourth Realm Trilogy) [B0224]

2005 HCDJ 1st edition. Welcome to the world of The Traveler - a world frighteningly like our own. In this compelling novel, Maya fights to save Gabriel, the only man who can stand against the forces that attempt to monitor and control society. From the back streets of Prague to the skyscrapers of Manhattan, The Traveler portrays an epic struggle between tyranny and freedom. Not since 1984 have readers witnessed a Big Brother so terrifying in its implications and in a story that so closely reflects our lives.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This is a very good thriller novel that blends different genres - action, sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, etc. This isn't a literary masterpiece, but it is well-written and engaging, is very entertaining, and is a relatively quick read. I wouldn't say that the concept of Big Brother trying to control society by using high technology is new or original, however, the plot around the Travelers and their ability to travel through time and between realms, along with the Harlequins being destined to protect Travelers is really unique and fun. I found this novel very exciting, with strong characters (both the heroes and the villains are great!), and a world scarily like our own. Also, gotta love a smart, tough, kick-ass female lead :)"; "I really enjoyed this book. So many parallels to our current society. It really shines a light on the evil of wanting total control over the lives of others. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!"; "Growing up, I wasn't a fan of parallel or multiple worlds. This is one of the books that changed that for me. "
